Day 22!

I was glad this morning that I had decided to boil enough eggs last night for Hubby's lunch for today and tomorrow and for me to have deviled eggs today and tomorrow :) It sure made for a quick, easy breakfast this morning - I didn't take a picture since you've seen my deviled eggs a couple of times now.

I packed Hubby's lunch and added a Larabar to make sure it would be enough for him, especially since he typically eats lunch about noon and I knew he'd be home later than usual and it would be 6:30-7 by the time we had dinner.


I finally found a turkey lunch meat that is Whole 30 friendly!  Wegmans Organic Turkey Rolled up with uncured salami in the corners of his salad, some quartered organic grape tomatoes, kalamata olives and sliced boiled egg - top layer has organic blackberries, pepperoncinis, pistachio nuts and then some walnuts and a dried apricot filling in the spaces, plus his Larabar.

BTW, if you eat Larabars and have Stop and Shop grocery stores in your area, they have them for $1 each this week - wish I'd known that before we paid $1.49 each.

I had a much simpler and quicker lunch


I couldn't quite finish all the tuna (used a whole 5 oz can)
Wild Planet Line Caught Skipjack tuna, homemade mayo (last of it, need to make more...), onion, dill relish, capers and fresh dill over organic tomato slices :)

Have I mentioned how much I love Roasted Chicken, well, really roasting meat in general :)


I roasted the organic chicken over rutabaga/yellow turnip, carrots and onions - I made a gravy with pan drippings after removing the veggies using coconut flour - I served it on the side, just in case, good thing since Rob didn't care for the texture (a little 'grainy') but I was ok with it and thought the odd texture was barely discernible with the meat 

For the gravy, all I did was remove the chicken to a platter to rest, tented with foil and then scooped the veggies out into a serving bowl. I then poured the dripping into a heavy bottomed skillet (Revere wear - it was a wedding present and I still use it :) ) over medium high heat and whisked in a spoonful of coconut flour, whisking as I sprinkled the coconut flour into the drippings, it wasn't quite thick enough, so I added another spoonful and that thickened it nicely, then I seasoned with salt, pepper, a garlic pepper grinder blend and a little sage - I thought it had pretty darn good flavor :)

I really wish I could find larger organic (or humanely raised) chickens for feeding the 4 adults in this house and still having leftovers to use for my lunch the next day - They just have to eat more sides if it's not enough :P

I also had 1/2 a Larabar and a small palmful of macadamias today :)

Day 22 Success! :)
